New compact SUV is premiered through online video, filmed at Spaceport America, the home of Virgin Galactic

Global competition expected to attract thousands of entries from over 40 countries

Four friends are set to win a once-in-a-lifetime trip to space with Land Rover�s Galactic Discovery competition, a ground-breaking on-line search for a group of aspiring astronauts to go on the ultimate adventure. The incredible Virgin Galactic space flight prize was announced to audiences around the world through a film featuring a group of the world�s greatest-living adventurers and personalities, including Sir Richard Branson, Bear Grylls and Sir Ranulph Fiennes. It will be the first time that a competition has offered the chance for a group of four friends to win a trip to space. The winners will be among the first pioneering travellers to view the earth from space and experience out-of-seat zero gravity.

The extraordinary opportunity is being offered by Land Rover and Virgin Galactic to mark the reveal of the New Discovery Sport, a compact and versatile SUV and first of a new Discovery family. The car was unveiled to the world in a film shot at Spaceport America, New Mexico, which will be the base for Virgin Galactic�s sub-orbital space flights. The film forms part of Land Rover�s biggest ever digitally-led campaign, debuting the New Discovery Sport exclusively to an online audience for the first time. Over the next four months, the brand will harness the power of social media, PR and digital marketing across 40 countries to launch the New Discovery Sport and seek out the world�s most adventurous spirits. The campaign will culminate with the announcement of the four winners in December 2014.

Phil Popham, Jaguar Land Rover Group Marketing Director, said: �Only Land Rover could offer this incredible opportunity: the chance to win the most spectacular group journey of a lifetime. Our heritage is rooted in adventure, exploration and a desire to go above and beyond, and nothing embodies this spirit of discovery more than a trip to space.�

British adventurer and Land Rover ambassador, Bear Grylls, will play a hands-on role in helping the winning group prepare for their voyage beyond the final frontier. He said: �This prize really is the ultimate adventure of a lifetime. I�ve stood on top of Mount Everest and looked up at the black above me, thinking �there�s only one place higher to go now�. As humans, it is in our DNA to go where people have never been before, and now four friends have the opportunity to do that.�

Land Rover has assembled a group of experienced adventurers and personalities to back the Galactic Discovery mission, including legendary British explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes; entrepreneur and founder of Virgin Galactic, Sir Richard Branson; and former actress and wildlife campaigner Virginia McKenna. Each of the stars brings their adventurous spirit, gravitas and wisdom to the launch film, which can be viewed Click here

To enter the competition, aspiring astronauts from across the globe are being asked to produce a 30-second video, or a still image, that demonstrates their spirit of adventure, choose three friends to join them on their space adventure and submit it via Land Rover�s website (http://www.landrover.com/gotospace). Land Rover expects to receive tens of thousands of entries from over 40 countries across the globe.

The Galactic Discovery collaboration signals the next phase of two pioneering companies � Land Rover and Virgin Galactic � working together to push the boundaries of travel and adventure for the next generation. A global partnership between the brands was announced in New York in April this year, and when flights begin, a fleet of Land Rovers will play a key role in Virgin Galactic�s space experience, with future astronauts driving in the vehicles from the spaceport in New Mexico to the spaceship to begin their trip across the final frontier.

George Whitesides, CEO of Virgin Galactic, said: �We share the same spirit of adventure and exploration as Land Rover and it inspires everything we do. Democratising space and giving individuals around the world from all walks of life an opportunity to see the Earth from above is at the heart of our mission as a spaceline.�

Land Rover and Virgin Galactic are now exploring potential collaborations, projects and the development of immersive experiences for customers. They are also actively working together on joint STEM education programmes, which encourage young people to aspire to a future in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Both brands see the huge potential to develop their partnership to inspire others and motivate more young people to pursue careers in these vitally important fields.

Land Rover Galactic Discovery has been launched in celebration of the unveiling of the New Discovery Sport, the world�s most versatile premium compact SUV, and the first member of the new Discovery family.

Six teams set to take the start line as the Defender Challenge by Bowler series heads to Shropshire

Round 5 of the Defender Challenge by Bowler series takes place this weekend as part of the Woodpecker Rally in Shropshire. Motorsport fans will see six teams compete for top honours, as the inaugural Defender Challenge by Bowler rally series will form an integral part of the Woodpecker Stages event for the first time. Teams will be based at Ludlow Racecourse, where scrutineering will take place as well as the official start and finish of the race and awards presentations activity. The all gravel rally course will test the teams and their Bowler-prepared Land Rover Defender 90 vehicles across 43 stage miles and some of the best forest stages in the country.

Heading into Round 5, father and son team Rob and Jonny Harford lead the Championship by just one point from Edd Cobley, who recorded his third victory of the season in the previous round at the Welsh Hill Rally.

Edd Cobley said: �With just three stages to go, it�s exciting to be in contention for the Championship. It�s been a fantastic debut series for the Defender Challenge and with a great sense of camaraderie between all the drivers; we�re looking forward to another race weekend.

�Weather conditions made the previous round in Wales incredibly tough, but the Defender handled everything that was thrown its way and we were delighted to top the podium. I�m expecting another tough test at the Woodpecker Stages, but come rain or shine we will be ready to race and looking to top the podium again.�

Race2Recovery also head to Shropshire in good spirits as they push for a fourth consecutive podium finish. The team is comprised of a number of people with disabilities and received backing from long-term partner Land Rover to enable them to compete in the series. Race2Recovery team member Ben Gott said: �We are continuing to grow as a team and are learning a lot from taking part in our first race series. It�s great to see co-driver Stephanie Boddez gaining more experience and confidence with every round. We�re looking forward to the challenge of securing another podium finish in Ludlow, and the final stages of the Defender Challenge.�

2014 is the inaugural year of the Defender Challenge by Bowler race series, which features seven rounds, held across the UK. The series has been created to offer competitors a clear pathway to progress to further international rally raid competition such as the Africa Race and Dakar Rally.

Drew Bowler, Managing Director of Bowler Motorsport will make his rally debut when competing in this weekend�s stage. He said: �With just three rounds to go, the Defender Challenge by Bowler series is really hotting up. The first four rounds have provided some great rallying and we looking forward to seeing six teams tackle the testing all-gravel course in Ludlow.�

Awards are based on extensive practical testing undertaken by expert judges, and are presented by the Camping and Caravanning Club, Practical Caravan and What Car?

Whitley, UK, 13 June 2014 Land Rover has claimed double honours in the Tow Car Awards. The Discovery remains the pre-eminent car in its class and becomes the most successful car in the history of the awards with its seventh class win in eight years. The Range Rover Sport is the first recipient of a new Money No Object Award.

The Discovery 3.0 SDV6 XS once again proved itself the class of the field in the 1900kg+ category, continuing to perform better than all its rivals, including more recently launched competitors. It is Discovery�s fifth consecutive win and its seventh award in eight years, a record unmatched by any other vehicle.

The judges declared: �It is going to take a really superb car to beat the Discovery. Power, performance, stability, practicality � it has the lot.�

The experienced panel which put the Land Rover to the test were impressed by the ease with which it tackles towing duties, in particular its �confident and decisive� overtaking and �smooth, unflustered� manner in which it can be slowed, regardless of the weight of caravan attached. It also excelled in lane changing, motorway cruising and hill starts.

The new Money No Object Award was bestowed on the Range Rover Sport 3.0 SDV6 Autobiography Dynamic, praised by the judges as a �phenomenal tow car�.

They concluded: �Put price aside for a moment, you won�t find a more capable heavyweight tow car. Dawdling traffic won�t be in the way for long, as the sprint from 30-60mph takes just 9.6 seconds, even with a big twin-axle caravan in tow.� The Range Rover Sport�s stability was the stand-out factor, demonstrated in the awards� lane-change test. �Towing at 60mph feels like 40mph in the Sport, and the Range Rover seemed impervious to crosswinds, even at speeds that would have your collar felt on a British motorway,� the judges noted.

Jaguar Land Rover UK Managing Director, Jeremy Hicks said: �These awards are a great reward for the strength of Land Rover design and engineering. �Discovery continues to set the benchmark for its class, in spite of the arrival of newer rivals on the market, and with Range Rover Sport we are delighted that independent experts consider it offers the ultimate combination of prestige, luxury and performance.�

Southwell, Nottinghamshire � Saturday 7th June, 2014: Sherwood Forest came alive this weekend as the Defender Challenge by Bowler delighted spectators at the 55th Dukeries Rally in Nottinghamshire. Seven teams lined-up in their Bowler-prepared Land Rover Defender 90 vehicles for Round 3 of the series, which aims to provide a pathway for teams who aspire to compete in the toughest races in the world, such as the Dakar and the Africa Race.

Edd Cobley and his co-driver Allan Jackson took top honours after a thrilling day�s racing through the tough forest gravel tracks and dirt roads of Nottinghamshire�s famous Sherwood Forest.

Teams set off from Southwell Racecourse before 44 miles of stage racing saw the skills of drivers and co-drivers tested across a route incorporating forest areas such as Watchwood, Sherwood Pines and Blidworth Woods. Heavy rain throughout the morning meant track conditions were very slippery with all competitors reporting difficult stretches requiring absolute concentration. So difficult were the conditions, that the overall rally had a 30 per cent DNF (Did Not Finish) rate. All seven Defenders completed the entire course.

The popular Race2Recovery, well-known for their previous record-breaking Dakar exploits, had been looking to build on their debut victory in Round 2. Driver Quin Evans, and navigator Stephanie Boddez took 2nd place in class. The team is using the series to train up new recruits including civilians and people from the military who have suffered injury or illness and are looking for a way to inspire their rehabilitation.

Speaking at the finish line, Edd Cobley said: �I had a fantastic day and despite the conditions, felt really comfortable in the car. The surfaces were a real challenge varying from loose tarmac to gravel to pine leaves which feel just like ice. Allan has been brilliant and we have overtaken quite a few of the rally cars out on stage. �To take a second win after three stages is absolutely brilliant and above all the atmosphere and camaraderie between all the competitors is fantastic � it�s been a really enjoyable event.�

Reflecting on a strong day of racing, Quin Evans from Race2Recovery who finished second said: �Another great day and another great result. Stephanie has been learning to read the pace notes and we have performed really well. There really is no better way to pick up the skills and build confidence.�

Speaking at the finish line, Jon Chester, Brand Director, Bowler said: �The weather made conditions remarkably challenging today and everyone experienced the fine balance between pace and finishing the race. The Defenders performed exceptionally well with all seven vehicles making it to the finish line in a race where there was a very high level of attrition.�We look forward to the next round in July which will be the Challenge�s first Hill rally and will further test the driving and navigation skills of all the competitors.�

With four rounds still remaining, the teams are set to meet further challenges across a demanding blend of hill rallies and stage rallies spread across South Wales, Shropshire and Dorset, before the final round takes place in Scotland in mid-November. Entrants will also have the option of competing in additional rallies in Europe and North Africa alongside the Bowler Works team.

Designed in America, crafted in Italy, the 2015 Renegade highlights the Jeep brand�s global resources and dedication to meeting customer needs in more than 100 countries

The all-new 2015 Jeep� Renegade expands the brand�s global vehicle line-up, entering the growing small SUV segment, while staying true to the adventurous lifestyle Jeep is known for. Renegade delivers a unique combination of best-in-class off-road capability, open-air freedom and convenience, a segment-first nine-speed automatic transmission that contributes to outstanding on-road and off-road driving dynamics, fuel-efficient engines, world-class refinement, and a host of innovative safety and advanced technology offerings. The result is an efficient vehicle created to attract youthful and adventurous customers around the world to the Jeep brand.

�The all-new 2015 Jeep Renegade expands the brand�s product portfolio and targets the rapidly expanding small SUV segment around the globe with benchmark levels of efficiency and driving dynamics, while at the same time delivering best-in-class 4x4 capability that customers expect from Jeep,� said Mike Manley, President and CEO � Jeep Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. �Renegade symbolises the brand�s renowned American design, ingenuity and innovation, marking the Jeep brand�s first entry into the small SUV segment in more than 100 markets around the globe.�

Best-in-class off-road capability thanks to two all-new 4x4 systemsLeveraging 4x4 technology from the all-new Jeep Cherokee, the all-new 2015 Jeep Renegade offers two of the most advanced and intelligent 4x4 systems in its class, all to deliver best-in-class off-road capability. Both systems can provide up to 100 percent of the engine�s available torque to the ground, through any wheel, for optimal grip.

Innovation is also at the forefront of any new Jeep vehicle, and the Renegade is the first small SUV to feature a disconnecting rear axle and power take-off unit (PTU) � all to provide Jeep Renegade 4x4 models with enhanced fuel economy. The system instantly engages when 4x4 traction is needed.

Both Jeep Active Drive and Active Drive Low 4x4 systems include the Jeep Selec-Terrain system, providing up to five modes (Auto, Snow, Sand and Mud modes, plus exclusive Rock mode on the Trailhawk model) for the best four-wheel-drive performance on- or off-road and in any weather condition.

A global Jeep design for a rapidly growing global brandFrom the start, Jeep designers knew the Renegade would need to deliver best-in-class off-road capability with city-sized proportions that exuded the brand�s rugged style while at the same time enhancing versatility, manoeuvrability and style. Additionally designers were tasked to create an all-new SUV that would symbolise the brand�s renowned American design and ingenuity, as it would mark the Jeep brand�s first entry into the small SUV segment in more than 100 markets around the globe. Lastly, Renegade had to offer the open-air freedom that dates back to its 1941 roots with the Willys MB Jeep.

The result is the all-new 2015 Renegade, a vehicle that builds on the Jeep Wrangler�s powerful stance, and features fresh new styling with rugged body forms and aggressive proportions that enable best-in-class approach and departure angles purposely designed to deliver best-in-class off-road capability. And for segment-exclusive panoramic views, two available My Sky open-air roof panel systems conveniently stow to provide passengers open-air freedom with ease.

The interior of the all-new 2015 Jeep Renegade has a distinctive form language which Jeep designers have titled �Tek-Tonic.� This new design theme is defined by the intersections of soft and tactile forms with rugged and functional details. Major surfaces such as the sculpted soft-touch instrument panel are intersected with bold functional elements like the passenger grab handle � indispensable for off-road adventures and borrowed from its big brother, the legendary Jeep Wrangler. Unique �protective clamp fasteners,� anodised design accents and inspired colours are derived from extreme sports equipment, while the newly familiar �X� shapes inspired by its roof and tail lamps add to Renegade�s Tek-Tonic interior look. Additionally, the Renegade is designed with an efficient and flexible interior package that includes a removable, reversible and height-adjustable cargo floor panel and fold-forward front-passenger seat.

With a manual removable, or removable with premium power tilt/slide feature, the segment-exclusive My Sky roof-panel systems quickly bring the outdoors inside. Designed for convenience, the honeycomb fibreglass polyurethane roof panels are lightweight and stow neatly in the rear cargo area. For added design detail, both My Sky roof systems feature a debossed �X� stamped into the roof that exude strength and play on the brand�s utilitarian history.

Best-in-class off-road capability with world-class on-road driving dynamicsDesigned and engineered to first and foremost deliver legendary Jeep 4x4 capability, the all-new 2015 Renegade is the first small SUV from Chrysler Group to use the all-new �small-wide 4x4 architecture.�

With its fully independent suspension capable of up to 205 mm (8.1 inches) of wheel articulation and 220 mm (8.7 inches) of ground clearance (Trailhawk), Renegade raises the bar in the small SUV segment with best-in-class off-road capability.

The all-new Renegade is the first Jeep to integrate Koni�s frequency selective damping (FSD) front and rear strut system. This damping system enables the Jeep Renegade to deliver world-class road-holding and handling characteristics.

Designed for global markets: 16 powertrain combinationsTrue to the Jeep brand, the all-new Renegade will offer customers in global markets maximum off-road capability and fuel efficiency. The Renegade will offer up to 16 strategic powertrain combinations � the most ever in a Jeep vehicle � customised to markets around the world to meet a range of performance and efficiency needs. Powertrain options include:

Four MultiAir petrol engine offerings

Two MultiJet II diesel engine offerings

Efficient and flex-fuel capable E.torQ engine

Emissions and fuel-saving Stop&Start technology

Segment-first nine-speed automatic transmission

Two manual and one dual-dry clutch transmission (DDCT) offerings

World�s first small SUV with nine-speed automatic transmissionLike the new Jeep Cherokee, the all-new 2015 Jeep Renegade has raised the bar � this time in the small SUV class � with the first available nine-speed automatic transmission. When paired with either the 2.0-litre MultiJet II diesel engine, or 2.4-litre MultiAir2 petrol engine, the nine-speed transmission delivers numerous benefits customers will appreciate, including aggressive launches, smooth power delivery at highway speeds and improved fuel efficiency versus a six-speed automatic transmission.

Segment-exclusive technologies once found only on higher classed SUVsThe all-new 2015 Jeep Renegade offers technology features once found only in upper-segment vehicles, and makes them attainable to customers in the growing small SUV segment � including award-winning Uconnect Access, Uconnect touchscreens and the segment�s largest full-colour instrument cluster.

Uconnect Access: Utilises embedded cellular technology to allow Jeep Renegade occupants to get directly in contact with local emergency-service dispatchers � all with the push of the 9-1-1 Assist button on the rearview mirror. Uconnect Access applies the same logic to roadside assistance. One push of the �ASSIST� button summons help directly from Chrysler Group�s roadside assistance provider, or the Vehicle Customer Care Centre. Further peace of mind comes from the system�s ability to receive text messages, announce receipt of texts, identify senders and then �read� the messages aloud with Bluetooth-equipped mobile phones. AOL Autos named Uconnect Access its �Technology of the Year for 2013.� (Uconnect services may vary in different markets)

Segment�s largest full-colour instrument cluster display: Filling the Jeep Renegade�s instgrument cluster in front of the driver is a seven-inch, full-colour, premium multiview display, featuring a reconfigurable function that enables drivers to personalise information inside the instrument cluster. The information display is designed to visually communicate information, using graphics and text, quickly and easily.

Renegade features up to 70 advanced safety and security featuresSafety and security were at the forefront in the development of the all-new 2015 Jeep Renegade, setting the stage for up to 70 available safety and security features � including the availability of Forward Collision Warning-Plus and LaneSense Departure Warning-Plus. In addition, engineers added both active and passive safety and security features, including Blind-spot Monitoring; Rear Cross Path detection; ParkView rear reversing camera with dynamic grid lines; electronic stability control (ESC) with electronic roll mitigation and seven standard air bags.

Jeep brand�s global resourcesDesigned in America and crafted in Italy, the 2015 Renegade continues the Jeep brand�s dedication to the global marketplace and demonstrates the depths of its available resources. The final assembly location for the Renegade will be at the Melfi Assembly Plant. The Renegade�s global portfolio of powertrain production includes the United States, Italy and Brazil.

Newtown, Wales, March 2014: The inaugural round of the Defender Challenge by Bowler one-make rally series officially began this weekend as the first teams to enter the competition rolled up to the start line in Newtown, Mid Wales, as part of Sunday�s Mid Wales Stages rally.

The culmination of a challenging first round, dogged by consistent rain, saw Edd Cobley and co-driver Allan Jackson claim a well-deserved first place after clocking a time of 66.16.5. Also showing decent pace in their first competitive stage rally were Damian Taft and co-driver Simon Taft, posting a time of 78.13.5, closely followed by Andrew Wicklow and Simon Armstrong in third with 79.05.9.

The 55 mile route saw teams race over forest roads and hillside tracks through areas including Pikes Peak and Sweet Lamb. Across five stages the drivers were able to hone their skills, driving on a mix of terrain including over loose gravel and through muddy tracks, with the rain creating slippery surfaces in places to provide a further test.

The day wasn�t without incident, with the wet weather increasing throughout the day to challenge all drivers. On one of the last turns on Stage 4, driver Richard Hayward (car 302) slid out of a corner before mounting a bank and hitting a tree, sustaining transmission damage in the process of trying to return to the course. In the spirit of the Defender Challenge, racer Damien Taft (car 303) had slowed down to check if Hayward needed assistance before continuing, with Hayward and his co-driver Matt Lister able to get their vehicle back on the road. Hayward was able to complete the stage and, whilst the crew worked through the service to successfully get the car running, it transpired that the time taken to get the vehicle out of the ditch meant Hayward was over his time allocation so couldn�t progress to the final stage.

Speaking at the finish point, Edd Cobley (car 301), 34, said: �Today was absolutely fantastic. The Defender performed as it always performs, a brilliant drive and a great car. There were a few interesting moments on some of the hairpins but we had a really good day. We had great support from the organisers and from Bowler and I think we surprised a fair few people by nipping at people�s heels on the stage. In these wet conditions the Defender was in its element.�

Speaking as he crossed the line, driver Damien Taft (car 303), 47 from Enville, said: �Today�s racing was awesome. We really progressed as the day went on and we got better stage by stage. The Defender was fantastic, it performed brilliantly. As our first round in the competition we couldn�t have wished for anymore.�

Taft added: �For me, this is a first chance to get involved with Land Rover since I last competed which was twenty years ago in the Camel Trophy. I had the idea I wanted to rally again and the Defender Challenge provides the ideal step towards racing in the Dakar.�

Speaking at the service centre, Drew Bowler, Managing Director of Bowler Motorsport, said: �We couldn�t be happier with how Round 1 of the Defender Challenge by Bowler has gone. The cars performed really well and the drivers have clearly enjoyed themselves, with a number of them developing through the day. The weather delivered some interesting challenges but we all did what we set out to do and the drivers are now up and running on the pathway to rally raid. The organisation of today�s event was fantastic and we were all delighted with our welcome from the organisers, the other teams and the spectators.�

Across the remaining six rounds, competitors will face a demanding blend of hill rallies and stage rallies spread across South Wales, Somerset, Nottinghamshire, Shropshire and Dorset, before the final round takes place in Scotland in mid-November. Entrants will also have the option of competing in additional rallies in Europe and North Africa alongside the Bowler Works team.

More teams are set to be added ahead of the second race of the series, with a total of up to 15 cars due to compete in this year�s series. Each team must take part in a minimum of five of the seven rounds, with their top five placings counting towards the final standings.

The ultimate aim of the series is to provide a route for teams to progress to top rally raid competitions such as the Dakar and the Africa Race, a pathway previously non-existent for drivers and teams aspiring to compete in the world�s toughest races. Competing in the Defender Challenge by Bowler are drivers with experience of races such as the Dakar, the Dubai Desert Challenge, and drivers for whom this will be their first stage rally. For Damien Taft, this was his first motorsport event since representing the UK in the 1994 Camel Trophy. In addition, Richard Hayward is a previous Dakar competitor and a second place finisher in the former London-Dakar race. Other drivers, such as Steve Richards and Andrew Wicklow, were racing in their first ever stage rally event, both with the aim of developing their skills and gaining the required licence to compete in the Dakar.

All competitors drive Bowler-prepared Land Rover Defender 90 vehicles that have been expertly modified for safety, performance and durability. The modifications to the competing Land Rover Defender 90 vehicles include a full MSA / FIA certified roll cage, fire extinguisher system, racing seats and harnesses, light-weight Bowler wheels, a full Bowler racing suspension system with bespoke springs and heavy duty racing dampers and an engine tuned to 175hp that delivers 450Nm of torque.

The Defender Challenge is a �class� within existing rally events where total entries of all classes will be between 80 and 130 cars (including the Defender Challenge cars). These events vary in distance and duration, but all will give the team (driver, navigator, service crew) an introductory experience of national level motorsport. Completion of the series will gain the driver their National B rally licence, and attendance at some of Bowlers� overseas races will allow this to be converted into the International licence required for events such as the Dakar.

An ATV (All-Terrain-Vehicle) Pack to go with a Duster, which includes a towbar and trailer fitted to it, plus a quad bike, from as little as �5,400.
The mud-plugging abilities of Duster are widely known, not least by the sizeable collection of 4x4 awards its racked up in less than a year on sale over here. Now Dacia�s looking to plough a new furrow with buyers in rural communities right across the UK.
Chances are a hefty proportion of buyers will end up using their new twin off-roaders for a little weekend fun. In fact, with up to 110hp on tap and weighing a relatively light 1294kg for its size, Duster�s chances against a quad bike in a muddy field drag race might not be quite as clear-cut as you might think. But, there�s a very good reason why they�ve been deliberately let loose at the show in Llanelwedd, which draws in hordes of visitors each year. Which is? The offer�s been cannily timed so that the ATV-equipped Dusters arrive bang on time to coincide with lambing season next February.

Chunky, tough and perfectly at home with the rough stuff, it was probably only a matter of time before Duster was hooked up with a quad bike. In fact, in Access trim, some could say the similarities run even deeper. No radio. Air con. Or, even alloy wheels. But it�s probably the most honest off-roader this side of a Land Rover Defender, wearing its fit-for-purpose style with pride.
Dacia�s flagship model is the perfect workhorse. Even so, just occasionally, its owners might hanker after something just as hardy, but a little more compact. Cue the ATV Pack. Available to buy through official Dacia Retailers, it comprises a Yahama Grizzly ATV, towbar and Ifor Williams P8e trailer with ramp, the offer can be tweaked perfectly to suit customer needs. Having said that, three combinations are expected to account for the bulk of orders. Firstly, the off-roading option, for both modes of transport. For �7,800 (including VAT), Duster customers, be they custodians of a 4x2 or 4x4 version, will be able to add a Yamaha ATV Grizzly 350 4WD. Teaming it with this country�s most affordable off-roader, Access 4x4 (�11,095), brings it in well under 20 grand. Or, �18,895 to be exact. The most popular option is expected to be the Ambiance dCi 110 4x4, combined with the same quad bike for �21,495.

At the other end of the price spectrum, the two-wheel-drive Yamaha Grizzly 125 can be hooked up as part of a �5,400 offer. Adding it to the entry Duster 4x4 for example, would mean a total outlay of just �16,495.
Ensuring that no owners miss out on the fun, the ATV Pack can be specified with any version of Duster, as well as both new and used. A full Yamaha dealer product handover and a free rider training course endorsed by EASI (European ATV Safety Initiative) are also thrown into the deal. Farmers, like all businessmen, will be able to claim back the VAT element of the ATV Pack. Sadly though, not on the car.
Dacia�s Duster SUV has been rigorously engineered to cope with challenging terrain and climates right across the globe. Backing up its go-anywhere ability, is Alliance partner Nissan�s 4x4 system with selectable three modes, 2WD, Auto or Lock. Allied to which is an especially short first gear that helps with hill starts, steep descents and towing.
In contrast, Yamaha�s Grizzly line-up, or quad bike to you and me, is Europe�s best-selling utility ATV range. Its 348cc engine (Grizzly 350) gives it an impressive turn of speed, plus it includes the proven On-Comand� 2WD/4WD system and a towing capacity of 500kg.

Dacia, the �smart buy� offshoot of Renault, has made an enemy of the unnecessary and makes a simple range of cleverly designed, high quality vehicles. Its jaw-dropping prices are clear and straightforward, whether you buy its cars online at the Dacia Store
on www.dacia.co.uk or through your local dealer. All of the latest range information is available at www.dacia.co.uk, 150 Dacia Retailers across the UK, or, by calling 0844 335 1111.

Land Rover is the most successful manufacturer in 4x4 Magazine�s 2014 awards, securing two class wins and the ultimate 4x4 of the Year title. The new Range Rover Sport saw off competition from 24 of the market�s finest all-wheel drive models to take both the Premium class and the overall 2014 honour, while the Range Rover Evoque proved its mettle by claiming honours in the Top Range SUV class. The Land Rover Defender was �highly recommended� in the Hardcore class and the new Range Rover was second only to its Range Rover Sport sibling in the Premium category.

Presenting the results in the winter issue of 4x4 Magazine, Editor Nigel Fryatt said: �The Range Rover Sport is a worthy winner of the prestigious 2014 4x4 of the Year award. Indeed it is such a significant vehicle that you wonder if it is the best product ever to come from the Land Rover stable, of any era.� After putting the Range Rover Sport through its paces, the judges gave it an unmatched 90 per cent score, highlighting the 3.0-litre SDV6 engine, on-road handling, off-road prowess, towing ability, comfort and design as its stand-out features. Their report hailed the model as the �revelation of the premium group, if not the whole test� and made special reference to the quality of the Terrain Response 2 system for
tackling all kinds of off-road scenarios. Where on-road performance is concerned, they declared the Range Rover Sport is �a pure pleasure to drive� and referenced the
contribution made by its independent air suspension on ride quality.

The Range Rover Evoque once again demonstrated that Land Rover�s advanced styling and premium quality are not at the expense of true all-terrain performance. Evoque was
the class of the �Top Range� field in the awards test, netting an 88 per cent score from the judges. They appreciated its �boldly styled and superbly crafted interior� and the fact it has �the handling feel of a sport car half its size�. Design, on-road handling and off-road competence were singled out as the qualities defining its success.
Jaguar Land Rover UK Managing Director, Jeremy Hicks, said: �These awards are very much appreciated, not least because 4x4 Magazine subjects its awards contenders to such rigorous, expert scrutiny.
�The results help demonstrate that we are successfully pushing the boundaries of all-terrain vehicle engineering and design to address the changing requirements of today�s customers. We have a great heritage, but it is vital that we continue to build on that foundation with models like Evoque, Range Rover and Range Rover Sport that deliver in terms of style, premium quality and on-road handling as well as fundamental all-terrain capabilities.�

The legendary Jeep Wrangler continues to demonstrate its award-winning credentials after taking 4x4 Magazine�s 4x4 of the Year, Hardcore class for the second year running.
The award, which goes specifically to the four-door Wrangler, comes from the specialist publication�s panel of expert judges, who put the rugged US-built off-roader above
some extremely capable competitors. In the same awards, Jeep�s new Grand Cherokee received a Highly Commended accolade in the Premiums category. In awarding it top honours, the 4x4 of the Year competition judges praised the Wrangler�s value for money, comfortable interior, off-roading ability, towing prowess and iconic design.

�The Jeep Wrangler remains 4x4 Magazine�s Hardcore Class champion. It effortlessly demonstrates its off-road capabilities with immense power and torque, while delivering a gorgeously low, first crawler gear for when finesse is needed,� says Nigel Fryatt, editor, 4x4 Magazine. �All this in a comfortable, well equipped interior. Our only real criticism? There should be more of them around.� �It's the classic 4x4 vehicle that is instantly recognisable the world over. The Jeep Wrangler is the essence of what Jeep stands for and we're honoured to receive a top award such as the Hardcore 4x4 of the Year," says Steve Zanlunghi, managing director, Fiat Group Automobiles UK. "We're especially happy to win in consecutive years as it speaks volumes for the design and capability of the current generation Wrangler."

The diesel-powered, automatic Wrangler returns 34.9 mpg (34.0 mpg 4-door) on the combined cycle and has a CO2 figure of 213 g/km (217 g/km 4-door). Prices start at
�27,315 OTR for the two-door Wrangler 2.8 CRD Sahara, rising to �31,670 OTR for the four-door 2.8 CRD Overland Axle +.
Now with lower emissions of 198 g/km together with fuel consumption of up to 37.7 mpg (combined), the new Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel range also offers real value
in terms of running costs. The new Grand Cherokee range starts at �36,995 (OTR) for the 3.0 CRD V6 CRD Laredo, rising to �49,495 (OTR) for the 3.0 V6 CRD Summit.

4 November 2013
The new Range Rover Sport has set the fastest recorded time for a land vehicle crossing of the �Empty Quarter� � one of the harshest and most challenging desert
environments on the planet. The Empty Quarter - or Rub' al Khali - is the largest sand desert in the world and the second largest desert after the Sahara. Intensely
hot by day with temperatures exceeding 50�C, it is also dangerously arid. With no reliable water sources and an ever-shifting terrain, it provides a true test for man
and machine.

The drive team completed the journey from Wadi Adda Wasir in Saudi Arabia to the border of the United Arab Emirates in 10 hours and 22 minutes at an average speed of 51.87
mph (81.87 km/h), covering a distance of 849km � the route dictated by the conditions on the ground.
The time was set by a standard production new Range Rover Sport with a 510PS 5.0-litre supercharged V8 petrol engine, running standard tyres. The only modification to the
vehicle was the fitment of an underbody protection plate.
The vehicle was driven by Land Rover driver Moi Torrallardona, a 47 year-old Spanish off-road racer with extensive experience of the Dakar Rally, in which he competed for
ten successive years with a best finish of 6th overall.

Torrallardona said: �The challenge of the desert is like nothing else, it is a brutal, unforgiving and sometimes deadly environment. Desert driving requires a unique
combination of speed, finesse and technical skill. It is crucial that you tackle the dunes with precision. Knowing the right time to go full throttle and the right time to
slow down, takes experience and clear judgement. This unique way of driving requires a vehicle which has the same skillset � it must be both incredibly fast but also agile,
responsive and well planted. The Range Rover Sport is exactly that. It is massively capable and is truly the best tool for conquering the desert.�
The team encountered a constantly challenging landscape including vast sand flats, soft dunes and epic canyons. They set off at first light on November 3rd and finished the
challenge 10 hours later on the border as the sun was setting.
The challenge is the second that the new Range Rover Sport has completed in recent months, following its record hill climb for a production SUV at Pikes Peak back in June.
These feats are part of a series of global driving challenges in which the Range Rover Sport is pushed to new limits.

The Empty Quarter spans four countries in the Arabic Peninsula: Saudi Arabia, Oman, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen. Temperatures regularly rise above 50�C and any
crossing, no matter how well organised, must be approached with extreme caution.

The All-New Range Rover has been bestowed with this year�s Northern Group of Motoring Writers� Car of the Year Award following a vote among leading journalists.

It�s the first time in the nine year-old competition that Land Rover has come out in top place cementing the revolutionary aluminium-bodied fourth generation Range Rover
as the most refined and technically advanced SUV ever.
Land Rover was presented with the traditional winner�s prize, a genuine North country miner�s lamp, after NGMW secretary, Alan Domville, described the luxury off-roader
as �having no equal�. He said: �Despite having first entered the market place 43 years ago, its success across the world has made it an outstanding showcase for British
engineering and design skills.�

Nick Rogers, Range Rover�s Vehicle Line Director said: �Land Rover is absolutely delighted to have won this coveted award for the all-new Range Rover. The team has worked
tirelessly to produce the most capable and most luxurious Land Rover ever and the award is a testament to their passion for innovation and perfection.�

Land Rover is extending customer appeal of its family of luxury vehicles with the launch of a new long wheelbase Range Rover and the addition of an exclusive specification
� the Range Rover Autobiography Black.

The first Range Rover long wheelbase in 20 years, this new model will cater for a growing group of consumers looking for the ultimate SUV, and a unique alternative to the
traditional long wheelbase saloon cars in the segment. Clever packaging has increased rear legroom by 140mm for rear seat passengers, boosted recline to 17 degrees and
executive seating package provides enhanced comfort and space.
The new Range Rover Autobiography Black makes its debut at the Dubai motor show in early November. It represents the pinnacle of desirability to bring even higher levels
of refinement to the world�s finest luxury SUV. The interior has been carefully crafted and tailored to meet customer needs with subtle but distinctive exterior detailing
and is appointed and finished with the highest quality leathers and materials.

�With the addition of the Range Rover long wheelbase to our portfolio of luxury SUVs, customers can now choose a vehicle that offers superior levels of interior space and
comfort to compete in a market dominated by saloon cars up until this point.
�The Range Rover Autobiography Black is our most luxurious specification yet. It epitomises sophisticated design with immaculate attention to detail. The subtle, elegant
and luxurious finishing touches combine with a first class experience for both driver and passengers to deliver new levels of exclusivity to our customers,� says Phil
Popham, Group Marketing Director, Jaguar Land Rover.

Both derivatives exude Land Rover�s renowned breadth of capability and performance with first customer deliveries from March 2014 for the long wheelbase and August
2014 for the Range Rover Autobiography Black.

The new SsangYong Rexton W reaches the UK this winter bringing an all new-look to a familiar model line, inside and out.

SsangYong is gaining a solid reputation for producing strong, comprehensively equipped and extremely well priced vehicles and this latest addition to the range further
underlines this. Noted for being an extremely competent off-roader, Rexton W is the third iteration of the Rexton, a car that has won customers and admiration around
the world since its launch in 2001.
Building on this pedigree, the new car uses a body on frame construction for maximum strength - the accepted approach for a �proper� off-roader - and double wishbone and
coil spring suspension to the front, and a five link rigid axle with coil springs at the rear.

Commented Paul Williams, CEO of SsangYong Motor UK: �With prices starting from only �21,995, this new car has an almost unrivalled position in the 4x4 sector,
particularly as prices for our Korean and Japanese competitors have migrated steadily upwards over recent years.
�Built on a proper ladder chassis, Rexton W is a serious off-roader, yet with all the equipment and creature comforts expected of an urban cruiser. At such an amazing
price point, not only do you get a lot of car for the money, but you also have the reassurance of an industry-leading 5 year limitless mileage warranty for complete
peace of mind.�

Subaru has today announced the launch of the Subaru XV Black, a new limited edition variant of the manufacturer�s popular compact crossover. The �XV Black� models will be
available with either Subaru�s 2.0-litre Boxer diesel engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission, or the 2.0-litre Boxer petrol unit and a Lineartronic automatic
transmission.

Exclusively finished in Crystal Black Silica paint, the XV Black offers a number of visual additions unique to the special edition model, which are designed to boost
the car�s rugged, go-anywhere appeal. These include front, rear and side silver-resin underguards, front and rear mudflaps, a cargo step panel and a foldable cargo tray.
Inside, the Black model is fitted with heavy-duty rubber floor mats.
The All-Wheel-Drive XV Black is priced at �24,495 (on-the-road) for the 2.0i Lineartronic and �24,995 for the 2.0 Boxer diesel, and is based on the existing SE model.
Motorists will pay just �1,000 for all the extras fitted as standard to the XV Black, which � if fitted separately as options to other models in the range � would total
over �1,600, meaning the new Limited Edition model offers both exclusivity and value for money.

The XV enjoys a class-leading five-star Euro NCAP crash safety rating and at 90%, one of the highest scores for child occupant protection ever recorded, making it ideal for
young families.
Perfectly suited to everyday use in an urban or out of town environment, the �go anywhere� XV combines the highest ground clearance of any vehicle in its segment with
the lowest centre of gravity. Efficient engines and lightweight body mean the XV is able to return a 50.4mpg on the combined cycle and emits only 146 g/km CO2 (2.0-litre
diesel models).
The new XV Black Limited Edition features Subaru�s typically generous standard equipment levels, including Subaru�s standard-fit Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) system,
providing world-class hazard avoidance capabilities. Other standard features include front, side, curtain and knee airbags, 17-inch alloy wheels, daytime running lights,
heated front seats, wiper de-icers, cruise control, folding door mirrors, dual-zone air-conditioning, rear view safety camera, Bluetooth, HID headlamps, and rear privacy
glass.

Today, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) starts retail sales of its pioneering Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (or �PHEV�) with the first units reaching The
Netherlands � the designated launch country in Europe - after production commenced late August at MMC�s Okazaki plant, near Nagoya.

Much expected by dealers and customers in a region forecasted to be its largest global market, Outlander PHEV has already achieved over 10,000 signed orders across
Europe since December 2012.
Managing a fine balance between production capacity and overall demand, MMC will launch Outlander PHEV sequentially in Europe, starting with selected PHEV markets
(The Netherlands, Nordic countries, etc) from this month onwards.

Quite competitive (purchase price and running costs), the EU-specs Outlander PHEV only differs from its Japanese market equivalent in complying with mandatory EU
regulations and with a chassis fine-tuned to better suit European driving style.

Neither a mere adaptation of an existing Internal Combustion Engined (ICE) vehicle, nor a dedicated Plug-in Hybrid EV high tech showcase, Outlander PHEV is rather a
further variant of New Outlander � next to the petrol or diesel options - and developed as such from the start of the program: a unique / no-compromise proposal in
the industry�.
The first self-power generating Twin Motor (permanent) 4WD Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle.
Outlander PHEV meets its market at a time of profound changes in the mindset of global customers, vindicating Mitsubishi Motors� claim of 20% of its production made of
electric/hybrid/plug-in hybrid vehicles by 2020.

11 October 2013
Subaru�s best-selling model, the Forester compact SUV, has won the coveted 2014 Sport / Utility of the Year award from the USA�s influential Motor Trend magazine.
The Forester�s latest accolade makes Subaru the first and only brand to have won three Sport / Utility of the Year awards from Motor Trend, which is read by over 1.1
million people every month. The previous-generation Forester picked up the award in 2009, and the Subaru Outback was also crowned winner in 2010.

The Subaru Forester beat 21 other SUVs to take first place during Motor Trend�s exhaustive testing process, with models graded according to six criteria: Design
Advancement, Engineering Excellence, Intended Function, Efficiency, Safety and Value. The new Forester scored highly in all categories.
Motor Trendeditor-in-chief Ed Loh commented: �Smart design, thoughtful engineering, and a compelling performance on-road and off were the keys to the Forester�s win.
Our editors were particularly impressed by the powerful yet efficient turbocharged engines, the intelligent and sporty CVT transmission, and the excellent visibility
and interior package. Practical, affordable, efficient and fun-to-drive � the Forester truly ticked every box.�

The new Forester went on sale in the UK in May 2013, and builds upon the model�s reputation as a modern, rugged SUV with improved performance, safety and efficiency and
a more spacious and better appointed cabin.
Since the UK launch, sales of the new model have been strong, with particularly high demand for the XT Turbo model which is bucking the market trend for diesel SUV sales,
equipped as it is with a 240ps 2.0-litre turbocharged direct injection petrol engine delivering smooth and strong pulling power both on and off-road.

Over 41 cars were assessed by the judges from under �16,000 to over �51,000, and the Korando saw off stiff competition from other leading brands in the �Vehicles under
�16,000 Class�.
The citation for the Korando stated: �The vehicle pulled well through all the gears and gave a smooth ride. Stability at speed was good and it tackled the hill route
with enthusiasm. A very economical vehicle, and a worthy class winner.�
Accepting the award, Steve Gray, communications and marketing director at SsangYong Motor UK, said: �We are absolutely thrilled. Every model in the SsangYong range
offers the caravanner a value for money vehicle with an impressive towing capability, and winning this prestigious award for the Korando further reinforces this

Dacia�s set the UK car market alight in recent months with its �shockingly affordable� four-model range. Now it�s looking to clean up completely with a stunning Duster
deal from under �100 per month.
Rampant Dacia is offering Brits arguably the ultimate new car �smart buy� with the chance to get behind the wheel of its multi-award-winning flagship for just �99 per
month*. Or, to put it another way, a chunky, family-friendly SUV for the price of a one-litre, three-door Volkswagen up! city car**.
The jaw-dropping offer, available through Dacia Finance, is for the Duster Access 1.6 4x2 over four years. What�s the catch? There isn�t a cash one. The only condition is
that each Duster�s got to be ordered and registered by the end of 2013.

For only �20 more per month, buyers can upgrade to attractive Ambiance 4x2 spec with the fuel-sipping 1.5 dCi 110 engine. The mid-level version brings a series of creature
comforts such as 4x20W radio CD, Bluetooth, AUX/USB connection and electric front windows.
The range-topping Laur�ate, simply priced at a further �20 per month for the 4x2 dCi 110 version, offers a heady mix of air conditioning, front and rear electric windows,
heated and electrically adjustable door mirrors and leather steering wheel. Its chunky looks are beefed up with the addition of alloy wheels, plus satin chrome styling
touches and roof bars too.
Incredibly, for unbeatable peace of mind motoring, all Dusters even come with free servicing (3 years/60,000 miles).
Dacia has clearly struck a chord with budget-conscious new and used car buyers up and down the country. Year-to-date, Duster is already in fifth place for retail SUV
sales (C-SUV segment), outselling well-established competitors such as the Ford Kuga and Skoda Yeti.

Its success undoubtedly comes down to more than mere affordability though. Its stylish SUV scores high on practicality and reliability, together with low-running costs
and fuel-efficient engines. It�s got a roomy cabin and huge boot to round off its tempting package. Plus, the bonus of rugged off-road capability in its 4x4 guises.
Dacia�s jaw-dropping prices are clear and straightforward, whether you buy online at the online Dacia Store or through your local retailer. All of the latest range
information, plus full finance offer terms and conditions, are available at www.dacia.co.uk www.dacia.co.uk, 150 Dacia sites across the UK, or,

Muscular, modern and packed with technology, the new Nissan X-Trail has made its world debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. Building on Nissan's respected 4x4 heritage
but adding world-leading crossover know-how, the new X-Trail re-defines the compact SUV segment.
The US version, called the Nissan Rogue, made its world debut today. As a high-volume global growth product built on the new jointly-developed Nissan/Renault Common Module
Family (CMF) platform architecture, it is projected to be available in 190 countries around the world.

At the same time as enhancing its predecessor's go-anywhere credibility, new X-Trail takes inspiration from Nissan's market-leading crossovers - Qashqai, Juke and Murano -
to create the ultimate, all weather, highly capable, modern family vehicle.
New X-Trail is just as tough and accomplished as the previous generation model, but adds crossover style and efficiency, exciting design, innovative technology and
exceptional comfort to set a new benchmark in the fiercely competitive C-SUV market.

A hugely important car for Nissan, X-Trail will be built at nine different manufacturing sites around the world for a vast array of markets, with other market versions
also revealed today. After its global reveal, new X-Trail will be launched in the first quarter of 2014 with worldwide sales starting in July 2014. Globally, its
predecessor was one of the company's biggest selling vehicles and the new version is expected to make a significant contribution to Nissan Power 88, the company's mid-term
business plan covering fiscal years 2011-2016.

In order to highlight the most adventurous soul and legendary 4x4 capabilities of the iconic Jeep Wrangler, the new limited-edition, customised Wrangler Polar model will
be revealed on the Jeep stand in Frankfurt in the Wrangler four-door configuration, and will boast an all-new Hydro Blue exterior colour matched to a Black interior.
On the heels of the success of recently launched - and sold out - limited-edition customisations of Jeep Wrangler, this new special model sports a unique trim level
dedicated to all those enthusiasts searching for adventure and absolute performance in extreme driving conditions. Featuring exclusive styling cues, 18" Gloss Black
alloy wheels, body-colour hardtop and original Mopar� accessories, the new Jeep Wrangler Polar will be available in Europe in the first quarter of 2014, in both two-
and four-door versions, powered by the brilliant 2.8-litre turbo diesel.

Jeep Wrangler Polar takes its cue from the severe climate and extreme conditions that characterise the Antarctic region. The "Polar" badge located on the vehicle's side
shows off the 78� S and 106� E coordinates that correspond to the location of Vostok in Antarctica: the exact point where the absolute severest temperature in the world
was recorded at -89.2� C (-128.56� F).
Thus the theme of winter that in the past inspired the creation of highly appreciated special series now returns in the making of this new special-edition model. The
winter theme is what lies behind the choice of the Wrangler Polar's unique styling cues suggesting class-leading capabilities and the use of distinctive interior colours
and details that recall features from the Antarctic region.

The new Jeep Wrangler Polar was designed to express the freedom of going beyond the known limits to venture into unexplored territories: an experience that only Wrangler
enthusiasts can enjoy, thanks to the reliability and safety granted by a vehicle featuring benchmark technology and unmatched off-road expertise achieved in more than
seventy years of history. With its hostile routes and severe climate, the Antarctic region offers the driving conditions that the iconic Jeep Wrangler was engineered to
conquer.

Based on the Jeep Wrangler Sahara model, the exterior of the new Wrangler Polar boasts unique features that contribute to distinguish it aesthetically from all the other
models in the Jeep lineup. First of all, the new front grille, featuring unique Gloss Black accents on the lamp throats, and the new hard spare-tyre cover are both new
styling cues introduced specifically for this limited-edition model. Further exterior appointments characterizing the Wrangler Polar are the Powerdome hood and the

applique. New 18-inch polished face painted pocket aluminium wheels on Limited models (later this year) and a new �Jeep� badge on the tailgate complete the refreshed
exterior design of Jeep Compass.
The interior has also been tastefully upgraded with accents and trim that customers will appreciate. Improved features include a new interior trim option available on
the Limited model and Dark Slate Grey perforated leather seating. The armrests and centre console lid are now wrapped in soft-touch materials. The instrument cluster
overlay graphics have been updated on all trim levels. New satin chrome finish adorns the centre bezel, shifter bezel and pull cups and round out the interior design
upgrades. Dark Slate Grey premium leather seats are standard on the Limited model.

New Dacia Duster, presented at the forthcoming Frankfurt Motor Show, has been upgraded for European left hand drive markets. Retaining the design features largely
responsible for its success, the new model sports more emphatic 4x4 design cues.
The front end has been upgraded, with a redesigned grille, adorned by two chrome-plated strips and housing a new air intake and new double-optic headlights with daytime
running lights.

The upgrades underscore the car�s on-road stance and robust, �go-anywhere� character.
�We built on the appeal of the original model and its proportions. Identity components such as the grille have been modernised. We have also strengthened the 4x4 cues
of the vehicle, while keeping all its useful features. New Duster gets an even stronger character while retaining its initial DNA.�
said David Durand, Head of Styling for the Entry range.

New roof bars with slatted supports underline the car�s SUV character, while new 16-inch �Dark Metal� alloy wheels and Mud and Snow tyres revitalise the profile of
New Dacia Duster.
At the back, new lights echo the styling cues of the front end, notably though the use of chrome. A chrome-plated tail pipe and new badging round out the exterior styling
changes and further boost the car�s personality.

Land Rover is launching its first-ever hybrid models � the Range Rover Hybrid and Range Rover Sport Hybrid � which will deliver outstanding fuel economy, significantly
lower CO2 emissions and retain Land Rover�s renowned capability and performance. Order books in the UK will open from September 10 with first deliveries in early 2014,
the two all-aluminium models are based on Land Rover�s Premium Lightweight Architecture and share an identical powertrain. They are the world�s first premium diesel SUV
hybrids.

�We are excited to introduce the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport Hybrids, the world�s first hybrid SUVs with legendary Land Rover capability. The addition of a smooth
electric drive enhances refinement, cuts CO2 emissions and delivers staggering performance on a par with our SDV8 engine,� said John Edwards, Land Rover Global Brand
Director.
To demonstrate the capabilities of the new hybrids, three Range Rover Hybrids will embark tomorrow (Thursday, August 22) on an epic trip, from the home of the Range Rover
brand in Solihull to the home of the parent company Tata, in Mumbai, India.
This �Silk Trail 2013� 16,000km expedition visits 12 countries and takes in some of the world�s most challenging roads, passes and trails, including part of the ancient,
4,000 mile Silk Road connecting Asia with the Mediterranean. These are the first hybrids to ever attempt this challenging route.
The new Range Rover Hybrid powertrain features three driver-selectable modes and combines Land Rover�s popular 3-litre SDV6 diesel engine with a 35kW electric motor
integrated with the 8-speed ZF automatic transmission. The hybrid system, including lithium ion battery pack, inverter and electric motor weighs less than 120kg.

The electric motor produces 170Nm torque to boost acceleration and drives the vehicle in EV Mode. The motor also acts as a generator, harvesting kinetic energy through
regenerative braking, charging the battery when the vehicle is slowing. In driver-selectable EV mode the Range Rover Hybrid can travel at speeds of up to 30mph (48km/h)
for a range of up to one mile (1.6km) before the diesel engine seamlessly restarts.
Together, output of the diesel engine and electric motor is 340PS at 4,000rpm and a class-leading 700Nm torque between 1,500-3,000rpm, resulting in stunning SDV8-style
performance. Both models accelerate to 62mph (100km/h) in under seven seconds, deliver strong transient and mid-range performance with a top speed of 135mph (218km/h),
combined with a 26 per cent reduction in CO2 emissions to 169g/km, equivalent to 44.1mpg on the combined cycle.

The latest generation Range Rover models have all been designed with the integration of a hybrid system in mind. Consequently, the liquid cooled battery pack is mounted
beneath the floor of the vehicle in a protective boron-steel cradle without impacting on the cabin or luggage space. The Range Rover Hybrid has the same five-seat capacity
and luggage space as the standard vehicle and retains the full-size spare wheel. This no-compromise philosophy is echoed in the Range Rover Sport Hybrid whose interior is
unchanged from the standard model, right down to the 5+2 seating.
Both hybrid Range Rover models continue to deliver a class-leading breadth of capability and versatility, enhanced by the exceptionally linear torque delivery from the
powertrain and retaining Land Rover�s peerless four-wheel drive system including Terrain Response� 2, with uncompromised wading and ground clearance.

The �Silk Trail 2013� expedition featuring the new Range Rover Hybrids is scheduled to visit France, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan,
China and India. The expedition will be broken into 10 separate legs, with the Range Rover Hybrid vehicles driven by teams of Land Rover development engineers and invited
media � arriving in Mumbai on October 15.

One of the most successful Land Rover vehicles ever made, the Range Rover Evoque, makes a further leap forward with the introduction of a host of new technologies. These
enhancements lower fuel consumption by up to 11.4 percent and reduce CO2 emissions by up to 9.5 percent � depending on model � and bring a range of new comfort, convenience
and connectivity features.
Customers ordering vehicles from the 2014 range, on sale in quarter four 2013 in the UK, will benefit from newly-available features, including: a new 9-speed automatic
transmission, new driveline technologies, seven new driver assistance features and detail design enhancements inside and out.

First shown at the Geneva Motor Show in March, the ZF-9HP automatic transmission is among the world�s first 9-speed units fitted to a passenger car. It has an ultra-fast
response time, described by ZF as �below the threshold of perception� and an adaptive shift programme that quickly matches the driving style. With a wide spread of ratios
and improved efficiency, the new transmission delivers improved economy, reduced emissions, enhanced performance and greater comfort.
For the 2014 model, the driver assistance capabilities of Evoque are significantly enhanced by the introduction of features including: Park Exit (to automatically exit
parallel parking bays), Perpendicular Park (to position the car centrally in parking bays), Closing Vehicle Sensing and Reverse Traffic Detection (to warn drivers of
oncoming traffic), Lane Departure Warning, Traffic Sign Recognition and Wade Sensing.

The brand new Land Rover InControlTM connected car system, available as an option, incorporates two new features � InControlTM Remote and InControlTM Secure.
In addition to the new technologies, there are detail changes to the Evoque�s exterior, new colour options for the interior, four new alloy wheel styles and a new style
of Land Rover badge on the grille, wheel centres and tailgate.
The 2014 Evoque continues to be powered by Land Rover�s range of economical and light weight four-cylinder engines with a choice of either the 2.2 diesel 150PS engine,
2.2 diesel 190PS engine or 2.0 Petrol 240PS engine (depending on market). With the new 9-speed automatic transmission and Active Driveline, fuel
economy (for EU-5 compliant vehicles) is improved by up to 11.4 percent and CO2 emissions are reduced by as much as 9.5 percent. Combined fuel consumption
for the 2014 range is up to 57.6 mpg, with CO2 emissions starting from as low as 129 g/km.

Land Rover Experience Scotland, the country�s leading off-road driving centre, is extending its facilities and its range of services to customers with a move to a new
base on Butterstone Loch in the heart of the Perthshire highlands.
The new, more spacious centre is perfectly situated for easy access to challenging and highly scenic driving routes across nearby private estates. These give visitors the
chance to learn from professional instructors just what a modern Land Rover is capable of and understand how they can get the best from the handling and drive technologies
in their own vehicle.

As the only Land Rover Experience centre in Scotland, it provides superb facilities, including an obstacle course, swamp, rock crawl and sand pit, as well as woodland
tracks across 280 acres of land. Local landowners have also given the centre access to a further 5,000 acres of wild highland estates.
The new lodge building has a striking design and enjoys a beautiful setting on the shore of the 110-acre loch, which is in a Site of Special Scientific Interest, rich in
wildlife. It provides new conference facilities, with two suites that can each accommodate up to 50 people. There is also more parking space and better accommodation for
the administration and instruction teams than at the previous base at Dunkeld House Hotel.

Beverley Large, Land Rover Experience Scotland Director, said: �The move to Butterstone Loch is a great opportunity for us to deliver an even better experience for our
visitors, working from a larger and more flexible base. The superb setting adds an extra dimension to what we are offering, with opportunities for us to grow and offer
new, additional activities.�
�Our work helps build valuable advocacy among Land Rover customers, anyone buying a new vehicle has an invitation to come to one of the seven Land Rover Experience
centres around Britain � with ours as the only one based in Scotland. And it isn�t just about the all-terrain aspects of the vehicles, our instructors cover all the
technical aspects of the models as well, such as how to make best use of the satellite navigation and multimedia systems.�
As well as customers, the centre hosts corporate and VIP guests for driving and team-building exercises. Driving packages are available from one hour to a full day,
with groups of all sizes catered for.
The location opens up opportunities for a wider range of activities, with trout fishing available in the loch � renowned as one of Scotland�s finest trout fisheries.
In spite of being set in some of Scotland�s most glorious countryside, the new centre remains within easy reach, less than 15 minutes from Dunkeld village and the main A9
north-south route. Driving time from Edinburgh airport is about an hour and a quarter, while Perth is about 35 minutes away.

As Land Rover Experience Scotland takes up residence in its new base, it also welcomes Lead Instructor Will Cox as a new director, joining Beverley Lodge and Graham
Clark in leading the business.

The first Electric Defender has started work at the Eden Project near
St Austell in Cornwall in an inaugural real world trial of its capabilities.
Unveiled at this year�s Geneva Motor Show, the Land Rover Electric Defender
is a pioneering research project into the electrification of an all-terrain
vehicle. The project forms part of Land Rover�s overall sustainability
objectives which have included the move to aluminum platforms in the latest
all-new Range Rover and Range Rover Sport as well as the forthcoming Range
Rover hybrid products. The innovative 4x4 is a rolling laboratory to develop
new ideas, and investigate electrification in a real-world environment.
A fleet of six vehicles will be placed with organisations where their
performance can be assessed.

The Defender 110 Pick Up badged �All terrain Electric
Research Vehicle� effortlessly tows the four-carriage 12 tonne road train
carrying up to 60 passengers on a 6 per cent incline to and from the iconic
hexagonal-panelled domes. The vehicle has been designed to perform its
duties throughout each day before being recharged over night for the approximate
cost of �2.00. The Electric Defender has all the qualities and performance
which have become associated with the Land Rover brand during the past
65 years. It has full all-terrain capability, permanent 4WD and a top
speed of 70mph. However, it has been engineered in-house by Land Rover
to test out the latest sustainable technologies. The vehicle�s Hill Descent
Control is linked to a regenerative braking function, and overall up to
80 per cent of the car�s kinetic energy can be recovered. During each
downhill trip at the Eden Project up to 30kW will be fed back into the
batteries. Land Rover�s acclaimed Terrain Response system has been adapted
for electric drive, offering a 50-mile range with a reserve of a further
12.5 miles.

The result is a zero tailpipe emissions vehicle like
no other; eight hours of low-speed off-road use is achievable, and it
takes 10 hours for the advanced lithium-ion batteries to be fully charged.
�Fast-charge� technology reducing that to just fours is also possible.
Jeremy Greenwood, Principal Engineer on the Electric Defender project,
said the car was ideal for the sensitive ecology of the Eden Project.
In addition, the repetitive nature of the work will provide excellent
data for future electric vehicles. �The car has been modified so it now
includes a second battery,� Jeremy explained. �That will allow it to work
a full day at the Eden Project, but also improves weight distribution
and stability. In addition, we�ve linked the land-train�s air brakes to
the foot pedal of the Land Rover, enhancing safety.� Gus Grand, Climate
Change Lead at the Eden Project, said: �We�re very pleased to be working
with Land Rover on this exciting project. It will be a great talking point
for our visitors and proves that electric vehicles can be every bit as
tough and rugged as their fossil fuel counterparts, while being much quieter,
cheaper to run and with zero emissions at the point of use.

According to J.D. Power 2013 Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout
(APEAL) Study released today, the Land Rover Range Rover achieves the
highest APEAL score in its segment and of any model in the industry in
2013, which marks the first time a model outside the large premium car
segment has done so. The Land Rover brand ranks 4th overall, an improvement
of two placements from 6th in 2012. Land Rover's Range Rover was the award
recipient for Large Premium Crossover/SUV in both 2010 and 2011.

"It�s a fantastic achievement for the fourth generation
Range Rover to be ranked highest in the J.D. Power 2013 APEAL Study,�
says Kim McCullough, Brand Vice President, Land Rover North America. �This
underscores the investment being made to innovation and engineering across
the Land Rover product portfolio and into making this vehicle the most
refined, most capable Range Rover ever.� The lighter and stronger 2013
Range Rover takes luxury and capability to a new level, with greater refinement
and enhanced performance and handling on all terrains. As the fourth generation
of the Range Rover line, this model was developed from the ground up,
capturing the innovative spirit and iconic design of the original model
which changed the world of motoring when it was launched over 40 years
ago. The new Range Rover was launched last October to acclaim, receiving
over 20 awards and accolades globally to date. It is the world's first
aluminum unibody SUV, weighing around 700lbs lighter than the outgoing
model.

Since going on sale this past December, the fourth generation
Range Rover has been received with strong demand across the U.S. Over
6,000 Range Rovers have been sold in the U.S. this year and sales of the
model have led to 28 percent year-over-year increase. The APEAL Study
serves as the industry benchmark for new-vehicle appeal, has been completely
redesigned for 2013. The study, now in its 18th year, has been updated
to better measure the appeal of today�s vehicles, particularly with respect
to the new technologies and features now being offered. Owners evaluate
their vehicle across 77 attributes, which roll up into an overall APEAL
score on a 1,000-point scale. The study is used extensively by manufacturers
worldwide to help them design and develop more appealing vehicles and
by consumers to help them in their purchase decisions. The 2013 APEAL
Study is based on responses gathered between February and May 2013 from
more than 83,000 purchasers and lessees of new 2013 model-year cars and
light trucks who were surveyed after the first 90 days of ownership. The
APEAL Study complements the Initial Quality Study (IQS), which focuses
on problems experienced by owners during the first 90 days of ownership.

The �shockingly affordable� Dacia Duster is now available in a Goodwood
Festival of Speed special Black Edition. Having taken the UK by storm
since arriving at the start of this year, with over 4,000 orders to date
already, the award-winning smart-buy SUV now looks even meaner for the
price.

The Dacia Duster Ambiance dCi 110 4x2 Black Edition
is loaded with extras, including a striking brushed black vinyl wrap finish,
luxurious ash leather interior, hi-tech Kenwood media system and stylish
18� alloy wheels. The media system includes a 6� high resolution screen,
Garmin satellite navigation with TMC traffic information, DAB, Bluetooth
with hands-free calling, ipod connectivity, DVD playback and rear USB
connection. With an on-the-road price of just �17,575, the Romanian SUV
continues to blow the competition away when it comes to value for money.
The Black Edition was a one-off creation released to celebrate the historic
Goodwood Festival of Speed � the largest car culture event in the world
held in July. Overwhelming interest at the event has resulted in the car
now being available to be ordered by UK customers with first deliveries
from October.

Phil York, Dacia�s UK Marketing Director, said: �The
Dacia Duster Black Edition is a mean, more upmarket version of what is
already a great selling vehicle. I challenge anybody to drive home such
a great looking SUV, with or without 4x4, with so much kit for anywhere
near the money.� Already the nation�s �most affordable SUV� by a mile,
Dacia Duster is also winning over more fans after being hailed one of
its least depreciating new cars. Dacia, a subsidiary of the French carmaker
Renault, has made an enemy of the unnecessary and makes a simple range
of cleverly designed, high quality vehicles which unashamedly favour function
over frivolity. Its jaw-dropping prices are clear and straightforward,
whether you buy online at the Dacia Store on www.dacia.co.uk or through
its nationwide retailer network. Dacia only launched officially in the
UK in January 2013, but has already cleaned up nine major awards, including
a hat-trick of trophies at the carbuyer.co.uk 2013 awards, including Car
of Year and 4x4 of the Year, plus Scottish Car of the Year for Duster,
and Best Supermini under �12,000 for Sandero with What Car?.

Marine explorer Monty Halls presented Land Rover with an unprecedented
challenge to design and engineer a �Dive Centre� Defender. A dual purpose
Land Rover Defender specially equipped to provide not just transport for
his diving and film crews, but also to serve as a mobile base camp and
dive centre in remote, off-road locations.

Halls, a newly appointed Land Rover global ambassador,
admitted he didn�t believe all his ambitious specifications could be met,
but the specialists in Land Rover�s Engineered to Order (ETO) team have
succeeded in creating a unique vehicle tailor-made to his requirements.
Just as Jacques Cousteau had his trusted ship Calypso, Monty will have
ideal support in the form his unique Land Rover Defender. True to the
Defender�s �above and beyond� ethos, Monty�s bespoke vehicle is packed
with clever engineering and design solutions that take its functionality
to a new level. His brief was for a vehicle that could support his diving
and conservation expeditions � �a one-stop, go-anywhere, cope-with-anything
dive centre and laboratory�. The modifications included features specific
to Monty�s work such as storage for diving air tanks, a VHF ship-to-shore-style
radio, a water tank and hosing facility for cleaning kit and provisions
for night working, such as external lighting. Monty also asked for a sliding
table, strong enough to bear up to 200kg and an awning to give protection
from the elements. Although he himself thought this might be impossible
to include, the engineering team duly delivered what he wanted. Even more
challenging to achieve was his requirement to be able to attach a trailer
to either side of the vehicle with a winch system for launching or landing
a dinghy. Monty is a great advocate for the brand, with years of Land
Rover experience gained in the field in his earlier career as a Royal
Marine, and in his current role as a popular and respected marine wildlife
and conservation expert, diver, film maker and author. He said: �I�ve
had Land Rovers for years; the association goes back to my days in the
Royal Marines when they were very much the vehicle of choice for doing
improbable tasks over impossible terrain. After leaving the marines and
getting into expeditions, it seems a natural transition to continue using
Landies. I�ve had several old Defenders, a new Defender, Freelander and
the new Discovery, so I am a Land Rover fan through and through.�

Although most of Monty�s exploration is beneath the
waves, the all-terrain capability of a Land Rover Defender is crucial
for getting him to remote locations and providing a versatile and reliable
base of his work in the field. Looking forward to his new ambassadorial
role, he said: �My specialty is sea level and below, so people might think
my options are limited. But the reality is we have 11,000 miles of coastline
in the UK and frequently the only way to reach it is overland, taking
all your equipment with you.� Monty is already planning expeditions where
his new Land Rover Defender will be set to work, including a project to
monitor basking sharks off Cornwall and observing Orca whales in Norway.
He explained: �The vehicle will be perfect to access high points for viewing
their movements, as well as putting boats into the water in remote coves.�
When he is not out in the field, Monty will also be using his new Defender
as part of his regular ambassador work in his touring shows and lectures
at schools and colleges. Mark Cameron, Land Rover Brand Experience Director
said: �Working with Monty on this project has provided a great opportunity
to practically demonstrate the skill and flexibility of our engineers
to create bespoke customer solutions. This one off interpretation of the
Land Rover Defender will provide real value to Monty�s marine research
projects and of course this fits very well with Land Rover�s Above and
Beyond spirit.�

Since its launch in 1992, the Grand Cherokee name has been delivering
the Jeep values of freedom, authenticity, adventure and passion. Now a
new model, on sale in the UK on 19 July, will continue that tradition.
With a new look outside and in, new cutting-edge technology and improved
performance on-road and off, the Grand Cherokee remains the ultimate Jeep
in terms of power, comfort, craftsmanship and sophistication. The British
market will be able to choose from two engines, three power outputs, and
six trim levels. But whichever model buyers pick, Jeep�s trademark capability
will come as standard along with a raft of equipment that positions the
Grand Cherokee firmly at the heart of the premium SUV market. Whether
it�s the potent 3.0-litre turbo diesel or the blisteringly quick 6.4-litre
SRT model, every 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee will come with a new eight-speed
automatic transmission. This significantly reduces consumption and emissions
while improving acceleration and delivering smoother, faster gear changes.

All models have a smart new look characterised by bi-xenon
headlamps with LED daytime running lights (DRLs), new wheels and new colour
combinations. Inside, the atmosphere has been given an even more sophisticated
ambiance with new hand-crafted materials such as Natura Plus leather and
open pore Zebrano wood trim. As befits a premium model, the new Jeep Grand
Cherokee is packed with technology. Slipping behind the new three-spoke
leather-wrapped steering wheel, drivers will notice the buttons that activate
the cruise control and infotainment system. Ahead there�s a new TFT (Thin
Film Transistor) 7-inch configurable driver display in the instrument
cluster. On the dashboard sits a new Uconnect display with an 8.4-inch
touchscreen. Limited Plus, Overland, Summit and SRT models have the new
Smartouch satellite navigation as standard; it can be specified in all
other models. The top-of-the-range Summit and high-performance SRT come
with a state-of-the-art 19-speaker, 825-watt Harman Kardon surround-sound
audio system.

A stand-out feature of all models is the comprehensive
array of safety equipment. This includes new Adaptive Cruise Control with
Stop (available late 2013), Forward Collision Warning with Crash Mitigation
and new Selec-Speed Control which supplement the rich array of more than
60 standard-fit active and passive safety systems. Legendary Jeep capability
comes courtesy of three four-wheel drive systems. These include the accomplished
Quadra-Trac II, the on-road focused and SRT-exclusive Quadra-Trac and
the sophisticated Quadra-Drive II with its rear Electronic Limited-Slip
Differential. These are complemented by the Jeep Quadra-Lift air suspension
and the Selec-Terrain and Selec-Trac traction management systems which
ensure the Grand Cherokee�s power is put to good use in all conditions.

The 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee is available in Laredo,
Limited, Limited Plus, Overland and the exclusive top of the range Summit
trim. All these models feature the 3.0-litre CRD engine which employs
Fiat Group Automobiles� ground breaking MultiJet 2 technology for a class-leading
compromise between effortless power and fuel-saving efficiency. The Laredo
model features a lower-powered version of the CRD engine while the high-performance
SRT gets the punchy 6.4-litre V8 HEMI engine delivering 461 bhp. There
are nine colour options for exterior paintwork along with five wheel designs.
A raft of distinctive new colours inside ensures there really will never
be a dull moment in the life of the new Grand Cherokee owner

Suzuki has a strong global heritage for its 4WD models and now, following
sales success in Japan as well as several European Countries including
Germany and Switzerland, Suzuki is launching the 4x4 Swift in the UK and
it goes on sale this month. Swift 4x4 will be available as a five door
1.2 petrol model with manual transmission and equipped as either an SZ3
or SZ4 grade. Apart from 4x4 badging and a slightly increased body ride
height of 25mm the SZ3 grade appears identical to an equivalent SZ3 five
door. The SZ4 model has a more rugged appearance and offers extra protection
over rough ground by adding front and rear skid plates, black wheel arch
extensions and black side skirts.

This new model has a proven and simple fully automatic
and permanent 4-wheel drive system which transfers additional torque to
the rear wheels when required via a viscous coupling, further enhancing
the already highly acclaimed cornering ability of the Swift. It is also
an ideal choice for customers living in rural areas needing additional
mobility or for crossing slippery surfaces during winter without owning
a larger and more conventional SUV sized vehicle. Thanks to the use of
small and lightweight components Swift 4x4 is just 65kg heavier than an
equivalent 2WD petrol model and emissions are only 10g/km higher at 126g/km.

Included in Suzuki�s recently extended VAT free offers,
the 4WD Swift is priced at �11,516 for SZ3 and �13,116 for the higher
specified SZ4 model which now includes power folding door mirrors with
integral indicators and Daylight Running Lamps as standard equipment.

The New Generation Santa Fe was last night hailed as Best Large SUV by
Auto Express after beating tough competition in the publication�s annual
New Car Awards. New Generation Santa Fe was launched in October 2012 and
has struck a chord with customers looking for a large SUV that delivers
everything expected from a premium model but in a more affordable package.

Steve Fowler, Editor-in-Chief of Auto Express, said:
�The Santa Fe has done what many thought was impossible - it�s stopped
the Land Rover Discovery from winning its ninth consecutive Auto Express
award. �We had high hopes for the Santa Fe and weren't disappointed as
it ticks all the boxes for buyers of large SUVs. It has the looks that'll
turn heads, wherever you go. It has the comfort needed for long journeys
or just trips to the shops. It also has the ability to tackle different
terrains and offers huge practicality with space for up to seven people.�

Tony Whitehorn, CEO of Hyundai Motor UK, said: �This
award is testament to just how far the Hyundai brand and its products
have come in recent years. The original Santa Fe - launched back in 2000
- played an important role in redefining our brand with consumers. Now,
New Generation Santa Fe has proven that Hyundai can compete with more
established brands on its own terms - and win!� �We think that the New
Generation Santa Fe will not only appeal to existing customers with its
fresh design and improved levels of standard technology, but will attract
a new range of buyers looking for a stylish, premium and authentic SUV.�
New Generation Santa Fe went on sale in the UK on October 2012 and is
powered by a 197PS 2.2-litre CRDi engine mated to six-speed manual or
automatic transmission, returning up to 47.9mpg on the combined cycle
with CO2 emissions as low as 155g/km. Three trim levels are available,
with five- and seven-seat configurations offered. New Generation Santa
Fe�s suspension has been tuned specifically for UK roads to ensure a refined
and cosseting ride, and the SUV was named the safest car in its class
assessed by Euro NCAP during 2012, with the best scores in the �Large
Off-Road 4x4� class

Volkswagen�s highly-acclaimed Amarok has scooped the award for �Best Pick-Up�
for the second consecutive year at the Auto Express New Car Awards. Praised
for its styling, carrying capacity, efficient engines and high-quality
interior the Amarok remains the vehicle of choice in the pick-up sector.
Auto Express, Britain�s biggest-selling weekly car magazine, held its
New Car Awards last night in London. Announcing the results before a VIP
industry audience the magazine�s Editor in Chief, Steve Fowler, said:
�Volkswagen might be a relative newcomer to the world of pick-ups, but
with the Amarok it�s produced a real winner. There are no compromises
with an Amarok � it has the carrying capacity and ease of use that makes
light work of heavy loads, yet up front there are all the creature comforts
and driving attributes we�ve come to expect from Volkswagen.�

Commenting on the award Alex Smith, Director of Volkswagen
Commercial Vehicles, added: �Since its launch in 2011 the Amarok has redefined
what buyers can expect from a hard-working, durable and reliable pick-up.
Demand continues to grow year-on-year, which is a trend we expect to continue
thanks to the launch of the ultra-stylish, limited-run Amarok edition.
Winning this award for two consecutive years is an enormous achievement
and testament to the quality of the vehicle.� Using Volkswagen�s latest
2.0-litre common rail diesel engine to bring new levels of refinement
and efficiency to the pick-up market, the Amarok is just as powerful as,
and more efficient than, rivals that use larger capacity units. It also
has some of the lowest emissions in the sector, and was the first to dip
under the 200 g/km CO2 threshold. The Amarok range offers three trim levels,
a choice of permanent or selectable 4MOTION, and a load area wide enough
to fit a �euro� pallet.

Since May 2012 the Amarok has been built at Volkswagen
Commercial Vehicles� factory in Hanover, Germany, reducing delivery times
for UK buyers. Prices start from �19,365 (excluding VAT). For full details

Land Rover vehicles have again proved they can do battle with the best,
scooping three top prizes at the annual Auto Express Awards. The all-new
Range Rover was voted �Best Luxury Car� by the judging panel, which consists
of the magazine�s road testers and other senior staff members. Steve Fowler,
Auto Express Editor-in-Chief commented: �The new Range Rover is an awesome
achievement, combining the highest standards of luxury with a hitherto
impossible blend of on-road comfort and off-road ability. To do all that
with such style and efficiency makes it a worthy winner.� The Range Rover
also won �Auto Express Design Award�, voted for by magazine readers and
website visitors. More than 80 production cars and concept vehicles were
eligible, yet the Range Rover came out on top. Steve Fowler added: �It�s
testimony to the work Land Rover Design Director Gerry McGovern and his
team have done in reinventing this motoring icon, especially when you
see the long list of beautiful cars the Range Rover beat.�

Land Rover Design Director and Chief Creative Officer,
Gerry McGovern said: "Designing the All-New Range Rover for a new era
was always going to be a significant challenge; particularly finding the
right balance between maintaining its iconic form while giving it greater
relevance and modernity. It also had to sit comfortably as the flagship
of a whole new generation of Range Rovers. This award is particularly
significant to us at Land Rover as it is voted for by the Auto Express
readers themselves and reflects the efforts of everyone in the Land Rover
Design Team." The all-new Range Rover is the most capable and most luxurious
Land Rover yet. Up to 420 kilogrammes lighter with new levels of refinement,
the Range Rover reinforces its position as the world's finest luxury SUV.
Not to be left out was the Range Rover Evoque, which was awarded the honour
of �Best Compact SUV�. It�s the magazine�s former Car of the Year and
is receiving an Auto Express trophy for the third year in a row. Steve
Fowler commented: �Its star is showing no sign of dimming. We love its
style, quality and ability on and off-road. It remains one of the most
desirable cars on sale in the UK today.�

With more than 130 global awards under its belt, the
Evoque has gained critical acclaim from customers and media alike. The
Evoque continues to receive plaudits for its concept car looks, dynamic
driving performance, class leading off-road skills and excellent cost
of ownership. Most recently, a Special Edition Evoque was launched in
the UK which is available in coup� and 5-door, customers can choose from
two exterior colour schemes, each one unique to the Special Edition model
and based on a new Black Design Pack. Choices include a Sicilian Yellow
exterior body finish with a Santorini Black contrast roof, or a Santorini
Black exterior body finish with a Sicilian Yellow contrast roof and door
mirrors. Unique interior finishes include yellow contrast stitching on
seats, central storage area, door trims and fascia mid-section, plus an
anodised yellow horizontal finisher.

The awards were announced at a gala event at the Grand
Connaught Rooms, in London�s Covent Garden. Jeremy Hicks, Managing Director
for Jaguar Land Rover UK commented: �Three trophies in one night is a
fantastic achievement, but what�s especially pleasing is they each recognise
distinct aspects of our business. The Range Rover has set new standards
in luxury, the Evoque continues to be the benchmark car for compact SUVs,
and industry leading design will always be at the heart of everything
we do.�
